I almost touched the moon

At the end of the first round, Cheng Che ranked first in the standings with 88.7 points, followed by Austrian player Evan Mersche with 85.1 points, and Canadian player Colin Froght with 84.6 points.

After the first round of competition, Wen Song truly felt the fierce competition and frequent unexpected events in the slopestyle event.

Evan Mersche, the last World Championships champion, Colin Froght, the last Winter Olympics runner-up and the last Winter Olympics champion. Alex Rohand, the American athlete who ranked first in the qualifying round and the gold medalist of the last Winter Olympics, fell at the second diving platform in the first round of the final, resulting in a major mistake and only got 32.4 points, ranking eighth.

Compared with these top world champions, Cheng Che's results are really shabby. No wonder the commentator called him "the dark horse of today's game."

What's more, as Wang Shuning told Wen Song, in the freestyle skiing competition, everyone has three chances, and no one knows who the final champion will be before the end of the competition.

Just as Cheng Che would choose to slightly lower the difficulty in the first round to confuse his opponents, his opponents would also increase the difficulty in the second and third rounds. Moreover, accidents happen frequently in extreme sports competitions, and no one can guarantee whether Cheng Che will perform better or worse in the next round.

Thinking of this, Wen Song did not feel more relaxed, but more nervous.

Wang Shuning noticed her uneasiness, bought her a cup of coffee, and comforted her, "Sister, don't worry too much. Among the contestants this time, Senior is also the best. And he raised the difficulty so high in the first round. Unless other contestants can do 1800, or even double cork 1800, they can't surpass him. Among the people present, besides Senior, only Evan and Alex have done it, so don't worry too much. It shouldn't be a problem for Senior to get a medal today."

Wen Song also knew that with Cheng Che's strength, it would not be a problem for him to stand on the podium. But she also knew that what Cheng Che longed for was never just the podium, he wanted to be the champion.

He also asked Wen Song with some doubt, "Since skiing slopestyle entered the Olympics, no Asian male athlete has entered the finals, let alone won a medal. No Asian athlete has ever won the championship in the World Cup and World Championships. Sister, do you think I can really do it?"

Wen Song said to him at the time: "Honestly speaking, I don't know either. I don't know what the overall strength of Slopestyle players is now, so I can't give you an answer."

After hearing what she said, Cheng Che snorted, turned his head away in displeasure, and muttered softly, "Then why can't you just coax me..."

Wen Song smiled and hugged him and said, "Although I don't know if you can win the championship, I know that your ability is not inferior to any top European and American players."

However, now, even though she knew Cheng Che would not look at his phone while preparing for the competition, she still sent him a WeChat message.

[Cheer, come on! I believe you can definitely win the championship! ]

If possible, she really wanted to run to Cheng Che and say these words to him in person.

The second round of competition began, and due to the outstanding performance of the athletes in the first round, the cheers from the audience became even louder.

Even the four Chinese students who originally just wanted to "join in the fun" shouted loudly in Chinese, "Cheng Che! Come on! Bring glory to the country! Come on!!"

Wang Shuning also shouted towards the starting point, "Brother! Come on! I'm rooting for you!!"

Wen Song noticed that Cheng Che was looking in her direction. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she still waved at him and shouted, "A Che! Fighting!"

An accident happened at the beginning of the second round. After completing the first two jumps, double cork1440 and 1620, Evan Mersche wanted to try switch left1800 on the third platform, but he made a mistake at the last moment and fell on the snow. His score was only 52.3 points.

Wen Song and Wang Shuning did not feel relieved by their opponents' mistakes, but felt more pressure. It was obvious that some players had increased the difficulty level because of Cheng Che's performance in the first round.

However, Cheng Che's difficulty level in the first round was already extremely high. If he wanted to improve further, he could only do three consecutive switch right double cork1620 or even 1800 in the diving area.

Although Evan Mersche failed in the 1800 challenge, with so many contestants present, wouldn't others be able to succeed?

As expected, the difficulty coefficients of the next contestants were higher than the last. Double cork1440 and double cork1620 have almost become must-do moves for every contestant.

When it was Cheng Che's turn, he still maintained the high difficulty and zero mistakes in the slope area. In the three jumping platform areas, he successfully challenged the switch right double cork1620 and double cork 1620 followed by pretzel, as well as the 1800 on the last third jumping platform.

"Brother is in great shape today!" Wang Shuning applauded and cheered, "Oh my god, brother is really good today. Before, he only did 1620 on three consecutive platforms. The success rate of pretzel and 1800 is not that high!"

In the second round, Cheng Che's score also reached 92.6 points, temporarily securing the first place.

However, the last contestant, Alex Rohand, performed double cork1440, switch right double cork1620, and even successfully challenged double cork 1800 on the third platform, achieving a higher difficulty than Cheng Che and a score of 93.2 points.

"Damn..." Wang Shuning couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, no one knows the result until the last moment."

The audience watching the game was extremely excited. In today's game, all athletes challenged the highest difficulty, which was undoubtedly a "fight between gods". If Wen Song had not come for Cheng Che, but was just an ordinary spectator, she would have thought that today's game was extremely exciting. However, at this moment, she was only worried about Cheng Che.

If Cheng Che wants to win the gold medal now, it means he must break Alex Rohand's difficulty coefficient in the third round, which means he must at least complete double cork1800.

"Shuning, if Ache wants to take first place, does he have to do double cork 1800 or above?" Wen Song asked.

Wang Shuning shook his head, still looking worried, "Not really. If you can do 640 or 720 or above in the slope area, and do three double corks 1620 or above in the platform area, at least one of which must be 1800, and the difficulty of the board grab can reach Nose Japan or above, then it won't matter if you don't have a double cork 1800. But the combined difficulty coefficients are higher than a double cork 1800."

After hearing what she said, Wen Song was also a little worried, but he still smiled and said to her: "It's okay, I believe him. Besides, it doesn't matter if there is no championship."

She has never been a person who cares about grades, but she is nervous and worried about Cheng Che because he longs for the championship. But for Yu Wensong, as long as Cheng Che is doing what he wants to do, that is enough.

The third round of the game started soon. Before the game started, Wen Song looked in Cheng Che's direction and suddenly shouted to him: "A Che! Don't be nervous! Come on!"

I don’t know if Cheng Che heard her encouragement, but he looked at her, nodded slightly at her, waved his hand, and said something.

Wang Shuning noticed this scene and said with a sigh, "With my sister here, my brother-in-law will definitely win the championship today."

After the competition started, Evan Mersche and another Swiss player successfully challenged the 1800 difficulty, and their scores rose to 90.8 and 89.6 respectively. Because the difficulty coefficients of other moves were not particularly high, this score was still lower than Cheng Che's 92.6.

"These guys must have been cheating today." Wang Shuning smacked his lips and said, "Oh my god, how come they look so relaxed when they earn 1800 each? Are they human?"

Noticing Wen Song's nervous and worried expression, she added, "Don't worry, sister. Brother Cheng should be able to secure the second place now. That's good. The second place can also get 260 points."

"I believe in him." Wen Song didn't say, I think he will definitely win the championship, she said, I believe in him.
